but a "streamlined look" is generally in the sheet metal...like his studebaker makeovers, shroud covers for the locomotives, etc.i can see his touch in my cub's hood and fender shapes, and i would _like_ to imagine he is responsible for the offset concept.

just wondering if there was anecdotal evidence that anybody here had come across that proves it.

I would tend to think that he just designed the appearance of things, which is I'm sure an oversimplification. The cult-o-vision was for pure function on one row tractors. Which if it was design or appearance IH would of carried the offset on up to the C the H and the M so the whole line of tractors would be similar.
